The Born Loser began in 1965 as a strip with no central characters that revolved around the loser theme. Gradually, it developed into the comic we see today, starring lovable loser Brutus Thornapple, his wife Gladys, mother-in-law Ramona Gargle, boss Rancid Veeblefester, dim-witted son Wilberforce and the mischievous neighbor Hurricane Hattie O'Hara.
Artist Chip Sansom began apprenticing for his father, Born Loser creator Art Sansom, in 1977. He became a full-time assistant, and gradually took on an ever-increasing role in the drawing and gag-writing duties until his father passed away in 1991.

Just about what I would expect given the state of education in the US today. Sad.

Most folks complaining about “today’s education” would be very hard pressed to pass any sixth grade schedule.

I really haven’t noticed any more idiots today than we had back when I graduated. Some of those kids were as dumb as a bag of rocks.

If anything, today’s kid will be good at hiking. Have you ever picked up one of their backpacks?

I thought it was less than 10 percent, according to “Uncle Martin” the Martian (played by the incomparable Christopher Lloyd) from the “My Favorite Martian” movie.

I remember going to my first basketball game, and asking how many quarters are there. Duh.
